Teachers held in porn probe

The men, aged 43 and 37, were arrested at an address in Monkspath, Solihull, on Wednesday, and bailed "pending further investigations".

West Midlands Police said the arrests followed an investigation by the force's child online safety team and public protection unit.

A spokeswoman said the 43-year-old man teaches at St Patrick's School in Earlswood, Solihull, and the 37-year-old teaches at Monkspath School, in the Shirley area of Solihull.

She added: "At this stage of the inquiry there is nothing to suggest any physical contact between the suspects and the children featured in the images."

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council said both men had been suspended from work.

Police said the inquiry was still in its early stages.
